Chapter 11.2, Problem 10R

To determine

To Identify: The name of the three objects in the home that can produce electromagnetic waves.

To Describe: The use of electromagnetic waves.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

The changing electric field around a charge creates a changing magnetic field. Similarly, the changing magnetic field around a charge creates a changing electric field. Electromagnetic waves are produced just because of changes in the electric and magnetic fields.

All lamps in the house which emit light of different wavelength are electromagnetic waves. Audio, video remotes use infrared red rays to control the system. Ovens use microwaves in them.
